Hong Kong Stubborn - Chapter 145

Just when Luo Junyan was about to leave South Korea, the South Korean government announced relevant policies to support the country’s cultural industry.

The government has made clear requirements for the movie theaters in South Korea. Locally produced films must be shown for 196 days a year, and many other policies to support the local film industry have been introduced.

Even if Luo Junyan laid the theater line in South Korea, it is difficult to use South Korea as a dumping market for Hong Kong films. It can only be said that it is a blessing and a misfortune. If the army sister’s Asian theater is already under construction, Luo Junyan will have to devote all his energy to South Korea. Otherwise, the local production of Korean film sources will become a big problem, but he is obviously Not yet ready for this.

In early September, Luo Junyan returned to Xiangjiang alone.

This time, he plans to stay for a month to resolve all the finalizing matters. Missing Army in my heart made him so non-stop during these three months, a lot of work could only be done in a hurry.

Cheng Ge and Luo Meizi have purchased a 16-story building in Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon. This building was originally the headquarters building of a clothing company, but now the clothing company goes bankrupt and the mortgaged headquarters building is sold at a discount by the bank.

Luo Junyan followed Brother Cheng to take a look, and felt that the location of this building was pretty good. Although it was not facing the sea, it was very close to the Yau Ma Tei MTR station and the transportation was very convenient. Moreover, the building was completed and put into use in 1996. The interior and exterior of the building were newly built. What is rare is that there is a ground parking lot at the back of the building, which is not large in size but very practical.

It cost 395 million Hong Kong dollars to purchase this property building and land with one hand. The currently entrusted law firm is going through the transfer procedures, and it will be renamed XJ International Entertainment Media Building after the procedures are completed.

Cheng Ge’s idea is to renovate this headquarters building in accordance with the standards of South Korea’s Ginza Building. The lower three floors are transformed into a comprehensive commercial complex, Snow Country Cinema, the top five floors are self-use offices, and the middle eight floors are rented out to entertainment industry-related enterprises at discounted prices.

At present, XJ International Entertainment Group’s account has 36.5 million Hong Kong dollars left, which is more than enough for the interior decoration of the building. Although Yau Ma Tei is not a core commercial district like Causeway Bay, it is also a prosperous commercial zone. After a new renovation, it can not only offset the management and tax costs of land and property every year, but it is also expected to generate more than 10 million yuan in revenue for XJ International Entertainment Group. Hong Kong dollars.

Luo Junyan has no objection to this. Brother Cheng is familiar with the management and lease of the office building. The complex’s Snow Country Studios also has mature templates from South Korea. His only requirement now is that all subsidiaries must be moved into the headquarters building in October. He leaves little money for each company, and the cost of renting office space is a huge burden.

Luo Junyan’s sale of company assets is already well known in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle, which has triggered various speculations, but there is always a consensus that Luo Junyan has completely abandoned the Xiangjiang film market. So why did you give up cleanly? Obviously, he is extremely pessimistic about the prospects of the Hong Kong film market.

Xing Ge, Hua Ge, Du Qifeng and Wang Xiaopang learned that he had returned to Xiangjiang, and they all came over to chat with him.

Wang Xiaopang wants him to participate in the best partner film company. In such a bleak market, the best partner film company is almost unable to sustain it. The other three are concerned about Luo Junyan’s movements. If he leaves Xiangjiang, the shares held by Silver Snow Throne Entertainment will be unstable. Who knows what he plans to do.

Luo Junyan directly rejected Wang Xiaopang, and at the same time persuaded Wang Xiaopang to sell more shares in the best partner film company. Now it is not the time for Xiangjiang to make a lot of money by making movies. If you don’t avoid risks immediately, it is very likely. Will lose everything.

As for the other three, Luo Junyan also confessed that he might leave Xiangjiang for a long time. Of course, Luo Junyan’s reason is to go to Hollywood to try the water. No one would question this reason.

Luo Junyan can guarantee that the shares will not be transferred out, but in the future when the joint stock company is issuing and selecting actors, the Snowman department will definitely intervene. As a friend in the circle, this time he gave Xingge, Huage and Du Qifeng a choice, allowing them to buy back 30% of the shares according to the current valuation.

Xinghui Overseas is profitable at least, although the amount of profit is about 10 million yuan, both Tianmu and Yinhe Image are still losing money. With this calculation, Luo Junyan will lose a lot of repurchase at the current valuation.

However, it is unacceptable for Star Brother, Hua Ge, and Johnnie To to intervene in the release and casting, so it is not bad for everyone to get together, at least it will not hurt each other’s feelings.

As for valuation, Luo Junyan didn’t care about it at all, and the price of the repurchase was reported casually.

The original price of Xinghui was 15 million Hong Kong dollars to repurchase the shares, and Sky Screen and Galaxy Image were both at half price, and the shares were repurchased at 3 million Hong Kong dollars and 5 million Hong Kong dollars respectively. Both Hua Ge and Du Qifeng believed that the price was unfair, which meant that Luo Junyan was solely responsible for the losses of the production company.

Luo Junyan has only one sentence, and it will be enough to remember this favor in the future, and now he doesn’t want to worry about entangled in this issue.

In the end, South Korea’s Silver Snow Throne Entertainment Co., Ltd. recovered a total of 23 million Hong Kong dollars in repurchase funds, and lost 8 million Hong Kong dollars in two years. This is only in Xiangjiang. Share-holding companies in other countries also have to choose, or let the Snowman intervene in the issue and casting affairs, or repurchase shares at a valuation, but the valuation is not as cost-effective as Xiangjiang.

After the cleanup is completed, South Korea’s Silver Snow King Entertainment will restart the business of the shareholding company, this time the rules must be agreed in advance. Luo Junyan now no longer treats these shareholding companies in the same position, either he is willing to become a servant and make concessions in issuing and casting, or don’t let the Snowman intervene as soon as possible, there is no third way to choose.

Subsequently, Luo Junyan frequently convened the responsible persons to hold meetings to clarify various decisions and development ideas, and at the same time put the parent company’s administrative and financial functions in a more prominent position. In all subsidiaries, Cheng Ge and Luo Meizi have supervisory powers, but they will not interfere with the specific businesses of the subsidiaries.

During this period, Luo Junyan made an appointment with Li Jiaxin again. He hadn’t forgotten the promise of favor, so Li Jiaxin was asked to decide whether to bring up things that needed help now, otherwise he would have to wait for a long time, and it would be useless to ask Luo Junyan for help.

Li Jiaxin proposed that he wanted to develop into the outbound film circle. At this time, the artists of Hong Kong were looking for new outlets. The current situation in the Hong Kong film market has not only compressed the living space of production companies, but also compressed the development space of movie stars. The amount of pay is the second, mainly because the number of popular films is decreasing and the role competition is extremely cruel.

Luo Junyan left Li Jiaxin to choose whether to expand to Korea or Japan? Don’t think about Europe and America, Luo Junyan can’t get in by herself. Of course Li Jiaxin chose Japan, South Korea is still a toddler, there is no reason to jump out of the fire pit and into the quagmire.

Luo Junyan would ask Huo Wenxi to arrange for her, even if he went to Dongbao to sell his personal affection, this time he would meet Li Jiaxin’s request. But opportunities were created for her, and she could only see her own development, and the two would not owe each other in the future.

When leaving, Li Jiaxin still wanted to find out why Luo Junyan left Xiangjiang? And she was very curious. Sister Army and Luo Junyan’s two daughters hadn’t appeared in Xiangjiang for a long time. Could it be that something went wrong between their husband and wife?

Luo Junyan had to remind her that the favor had been paid, and there was no longer any entanglement between each other, so she should not make any crooked ideas, otherwise it might ruin Li Jiaxin’s dream of marrying a wealthy family.

On September 20th, the latest issue of Apple’s New Entertainment magazine was sold wildly.

There were two groups of people who went to the distribution point to berserk the magazine. One group was readers who like gossip entertainment news. They bought it for freshness. One group is the staff of “Apple New Entertainment”, eager to recycle.

The reason is simple. The front page of this issue of “Apple New Entertainment” is actually a photo of the “Apple Daily” Taiwan boss messing with several well-known actresses, and there is no mosaic.

This news is strong and hot enough, and it is the first time that Xiangjiang media colleagues have seen an entertainment magazine that uses their boss to make eyeballs and hit sales. Taking this incident as an example, Huang Jiadong is definitely an individual talent. Since he came to Xiangjiang as the editor-in-chief of “Apple New Entertainment”, there has been a lot of noise every time.

At this time, Huang Jiadong didn’t have a trace of talent, and he was already anxious like an ant on a hot pot, completely burnt.

It is easy to find out how the photo on the cover of the magazine was replaced by someone, but the person responsible is nowhere to be found. Instead, his signature was on the review sheet for the printed page. Even if the mastermind can be found, and the magazine has been disseminated, Huang Jiadong, as the chief executive, can hardly escape the blame.

The farce of this self-revealing scandal ended with “Apple New Entertainment”, and Huang Jiadong was swept out and ended.

Two days later, Huang Jiadong was attacked by a masked gangster on the night way home after drunk, and his arm was broken. Judging from the scene, it was a robbery, but various media have speculated that the boss of the “Apple Daily” hired someone to commit the murder, and the dog bit the owner. How could the owner give up.

Luo Junyan planned to leave Xiangjiang after planning the incident. The old “New Entertainment” employee who changed the cover photo has been sent to Canada, and the family immigration has already been done for him.

The masked gangster was disguised by Zhao Yongren. Luo Junyan didn’t want Zhao Yongren to be contaminated again, so he only interrupted Huang Jiadong’s arm, and the police would not take this ordinary robbery seriously.

Luo Junyan hoped that Huang Jiadong would not shrink back, and when he came back to meet again, he could continue to slap bricks behind his back. This time he has a lot of time constraints, and the planned plan failed to completely ruin Huang Jiadong. This is a great regret in life, and it also left a lot of expectations for himself.

The summer season of the Hong Kong film market has ended. It may be because the box office dropped too rapidly in the first half of the year. There was a small rebound in the summer season, and local CG special effects films have the upper hand.

“Chinese Hero” starring Ekin Cheng and Yang Gongru has a box office of 23.36 million Hong Kong dollars, and Yang Gongru’s popularity has greatly increased. However, the special effects production of this film will cost a lot of money, and Zhu Jiaxin can invest in shares to take over the special effects contract. The box office of more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars is not profitable.

In addition, “The King of Thousand Kings 2000”, in which the best partner film company invited Zhou Xingchi to participate in the high price, only sold 19.13 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, so Wang Xiaopang had to come to Luo Junyan to beg for investment.

The box office share recovered by the best partner film company was only enough to pay for most of Star Brother’s pay. As a result, Wang Xiaopang, who wanted to be popular, was easily robbed of the limelight by the supporting role of Star Brother Zhang Jiahui.

In addition, there is a box office of “Gamblers vs. Las Vegas” produced by Yongsheng at HK$17.76 million, and “Wish Stars” jointly produced by Golden Harvest, Deli Film and Television and Yindu Agency at box office of HK$12.04 million.

The box office of these films was drawn under the mid-level sloshing film, and the rebound of the Xiangjiang film market has come to an end. Regardless of whether it is profit or loss, at least the ten million box office lineup in the summer file is more eye-catching than the street lineup, which more or less boosts the confidence of the various production companies.

These were all reported to Luo Junyan when Bian Sicong was chatting.

At the same time, I also talked about that the market value of Jiahe Company on the stock market has fallen below 100 million yuan, and Lin Baixin, the billionaire of Xiangjiang and the owner of Alligator T-shirt, is trying to make a hostile takeover. Lin Baixin never gave up the idea of ​​entering the film and television entertainment industry after selling shares in ATV in 1998. This is the orthodox tycoon of Xiangjiang.

If Luo Junyan is not in a hurry to go back to accompany sister army, he is destined to participate in this Jiahe equity dispute. Luo Junyan had an intersection with Lin Baixin. His first celebrity endorsement was the crocodile shirt advertisement he received with Teresa Teng. He was deeply impressed by this shrewd and capable rich man. This is a persevering and ambitious entrepreneur.

But unfortunately, his son is not so closed. When he was in his high position in 1997, he was arbitrary and spent 6.9 billion Hong Kong dollars to buy the Furama Central Hotel in Central. When the financial turmoil struck, the Lin Group was heavily in debt. The main listed company, Lixin International, fell directly from 12 yuan per share to penny stocks. It is still licking wounds and recuperating.

The funds Luo Junyan can use are enough to disturb the lifeblood of Lin’s family and Lixin International. Lin Baixin is so old and has limited energy. If Luo Junyan wants to take the controlling stake of Jiahe, he will not encounter too much. Obstructive.

However, Luo Junyan’s thought just passed away in a flash. Now there is nothing more important than the health of sister army, and all business must be compromised.

During Luo Junyan’s stay in Xiangjiang, both Xiangjiang and young entertainers were inquiring about him. Li Jiaxin is not the only one who discovered that Sister Army and her child have not been with Luo Junyan for a long time. Many female artists are even more sure that older women like Sister Army can no longer satisfy Luo Junyan, guessing that they may have secretly divorced.

Although everyone thinks that Luo Junyan should not have much funds in his hands, after all, the Snowman Times Building sold more than one billion Hong Kong dollars and lost money in the shares of the “South China Daily”. This is no one knows in Xiangjiang.

But the private house of the “Royal Garden” alone is enough to make people tempted. The richest mansion on the top of the mountain cannot be compared with it. This is the leading position of the Xiangjiang River leading into the sea, and it has an area of ​​10,000 square meters, and it is unique in it. Even if the asking price is 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, there will be rich people taking over.

Luo Junyan stayed simple and hardly came out to socialize. It was difficult for female artists to meet him by chance, so Anita Mui became a breakthrough for everyone. The fact that Luo Junyan is going to move to Hollywood is now well known, and it happens that Anita Mui will hold a two-person birthday party, which can be regarded as a practice for Luo Junyan.

This idea is reasonable, and Anita Mui is a lively person, and her birthday party plan will probably come true. When the time comes, which female artist can win Luo Junyan will depend on their own abilities.

We are about to enter the new century, and the entertainment industry is now not paying attention to subtlety. But all the female artists with good looks, all wildly hope to be able to give in on the night of the reception, and become the winners of life in one fell swoop.
